If you can't travel to Park City Utah for this week's Sundance Film Festival, the festival experience will come to you through a variety of cable and Web options.
IFC Films' sister division Sundance Selects, is offering five films on cable VOD at the same time as their first Sundance screenings. The series includes the U.S. debut of Gregg Araki's gonzo sci-fi film "Kaboom" (clip below) along with world premieres of Brendan Fletcher's Australian outback drama "Mad Bastards," Michael Tully's psychotic family reunion tale "Septien," Paul Mariano and Kurt Norton's tribute to The National Film Registry "These Amazing Shadows," and Joe Swanberg's Chatroulette romance "Uncle Kent."

For those with a taste for edgier fare, Slamdance, the upstart kid brother to the larger Sundance, will being five of its films to your TV room through a variety of cable and Web options.
The offerings include Shane Aquino's rock band tour documentary "Road Dogs;" Albert Birney and Jon Moses' surreal adventure "The Beast Pageant," Doug Manley's "Modern Imbecile's Planet World" in which bonehead sitcom stars join a space shuttle, Damon Russell's drug dealer documentary "Snow on Tha Bluff" and Stephan Wassmann's "Scrapper," a nonfiction film about scavengers who risk their lives to gather valuable debris from exploded and unexploded ordnance on a U.S. military base. The films will be available for a week starting Friday on the Xbox and Zune platforms. The project is a continuation of the Slamdance video-on-demand partnership with Microsoft, announced at last year's festival.
